From the sarliest times Mohamruedan hUtorians, except when in subjection, in describins; the death of a Chris tlan, do not say 'he died" or "he was kiiled," but "he went to Jahanna." They do not say of a Christlan tha he was drowned, but they say, "the dog went throuyh water to tire. " Not that these elegant phrases are eonlined to Christians. It is suffioient for a man to be not a Mohammedan to entitle him to "pursue thfl road to the realms of perdition," or to have bis head "struck from his iilthy body, so that ihe world may be gladdened by boina: jleansecl from his pollutinL existence " When the army of Islam goes to war with the Sikhs it is alled "extermination of the hellish, good-for-nothing: Guru. " The faithul, when they die, rfrink the sharab (which they ought not to do), or sherbet of martyrdom. Sometimes they pluck fruit from the hg tree of mmortality. On tho contrary, their inemies, (may their raouths be jrarnmed with mud!) are sent in swarms to heil, and the land purified of their existonce. The fact is that the religión oí Mohammed is a fighting- religión. It is meat-t for conuerors, and conquerors In tbe act f conquering.
